Linear Equations
This is the name for the y-value at the point where x=0. On the graph, it is where the line crosses the y-axis.
What is the vertical intercept (or y-intercept)?
A proportional relationship differs from other linear relationships because it must cross the vertical axis at this point.
What is (0,0)?
Quadrilateral ABCD has side lengths 4, 5, 5, and 8. The shortest side of congruent quadrilateral DEFG is this number.
What is 4?
3x + 2 - 7x can be simplified to this expression.
What is -4x+2 (or 2-4x)?
This is Ms. Youngblood's favorite board game.
What is Scrabble?
The graph of the linear equation y=-4x+10 crosses the x axis at this value of x.
What is 2.5?
The table below shows a proportional relationship. The unit rate is this.
x y
2.5 30
4 48
5.5 66
What is 12?
Of the four types of transformations covered in class, this is the only one that is not a rigid transformation.
What is dilation?
25% of 50% of 80 is this number.
What is 10?
Ms. Youngblood's husband is a math professor at this school.
What is UIC (University of Illinois at Chicago)
This whole number is the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,15) and (10,36).
What is 7?
What is 7.5?
Triangle ABC has side lengths 6, 8, 12. Triangle DEF is similar to Triangle ABC. It's longest side measures 48 and its shortest side measures 24. This is the measure of its third side.
What is 32?
Multiplying by 5 is the same as dividing by this fraction.
What is 1/5?
This was Ms. Youngblood's video game of choice in college (must name game and console)
Mario Kart (Wii)
A linear relationship has a slope of 2/3 and passes through the point (-4,10). Another point on the line has y value 25. The x value at that point is this number.
What is 6?
This number CANNOT be the slope of a relationship that is NOT proportional and passes through the point (10,4).
0.4
An isosceles triangle A has one angle measuring 100 degrees. These are the three angle measures of similar triangle B.
What are 100, 40, and 40?
This is the expression that results when the expression 3(2x-5) is rewritten without parentheses.
What is 6x-15?
This is the number of cities in which Ms. Youngblood has lived (for at least 3 months). Bonus points for each one you can name.
What is 5? (New York, Saint Paul, Paris, Lincoln, Chicago)
This linear equation describes the relationship between x and y given in the table below.
x y
6 40
10 45
14 50
y = 5/4 x + 32 1/2
or y = 1.25 x + 32.5
This is a scenario that could be represented by a proportional relationship.
What is _________ (enter proportional relationship here).
A figure with point (-412, 395) is rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the origin. The congruent figure that results must contain this point.
This number is the square of the difference between the 5th smallest prime number and the 7th smallest prime number.
What is 36?
